Unser Küchenchef: Anna, Cristiano & Francesco

Our names are Anna, Cristiano and Francesco and we would like to share a passion for cooking and tasting with you at Rocca di Pierle. After attending training courses and seminars, we earned our HACCP (official sanitary certification) so we could put our knowledge into practice. We started working in many restaurants of the province of Arezzo, Tuscany. For years we have been focusing on our Personal Chef business, offering everything from small but memorable events to large dinners at villas, happy hours and cooking classes. We are currently working on improving our offering of locally sourced food, following in the footsteps of our great culinary tradition.
